+++ RAF loss Spring 1944 +++

Hi all !

Some days before I spoke to an eyewitness (then 9
years old) who told me that in spring 1944 there was an a/c
crash at the village of Metzels (Thueringen State, Germany).
It's situated near to the cities of Schmalkalden
and Meiningen.

There is a hill called Dolmar near to Metzels where flak was
positioned and shot down that A/C. Some debris also fell
on that hill.

Supposedly it was a 4-engined a/c, crew all KIA, later reinterred
at a different War Grave.
The tail section including the wireless man came down
at Metzels.

Can anyone pinpoint me to that RAF loss (Sqn, serial)?
Sorrily there is no exact date...

(Maybe even it wasn't RAF but USAAF ???)

bye,
FrankieS
